I still think we win big.

ETA - I really wish this game could stay on our "rivalry" list as a permanent team when the schedule changes. Prior to UK becoming a regular on the schedule, we were 6-10 against them.
Since we started playing them annually in 1990, we are 20-12.
It's been a home series, but it's mostly just that UK sucks on the road, not that we havfe inexplicably sucked on the road. We have just had problems every other year since 2015. 2016, we were dealing with leadership issues after Dak left and mainly dealing with Sirmone being our DC. We lose a close one on the road.

2017, we have Grantham, and FItzgerald is established, and we roll at home.

2018, we have JoMo showing us why he can't be a head coach and we still hang close until our defense just gets worn out.

2019, even with JoMo and a screwed up team, UK manages to lose to us.

2020, we are dealing with installing air raid in a shortened off season. They win b/c we suck. We also suck at home mostly though.

2021, we show competence off and on throughout the season and beat them at home.

So I would say it's really hard for them to win in Starkville, but when we are at Lexington it's mostly been about us being shitty. Certainly home field matters, but I don't think we have really underperformed in Lexington.
